Please find the below questions and let me know if anyone can solve it. I am attaching the textbook for your reference.
Let axyz - ay^3 +xz^2 =bw^3 be a homogenous polynomial in P3(x,y,z,w), describing an algebraic variety V in P3.
1. Show the view of V in affine patches Ux, Uy, Uz, Uw. when x=1,y=1, z=1, w=1.
2. What is the dimension of V?
3. Is V an irreducible variety?
4. Find all singular points.
5. Give the ideal of V. Is it prime? Is your variety irreducible? Describe the ring k(V) = O(V) of polynomials (regular functions) on V.
6. Calculate curvature at (at least two) smooth points.
